Pregnant after IF

Well hello there ladies... surprised to see me????
Roxie5739

Maybe not as surprised as I am..... Some of you may know me, and my history is in my siggy, I used to hang out on the IFV board.
I was from June to last week a CFNBC life member, dealing with CFNBC, lots of tears over the last few months and just started to see the light at the end of the tunnel and then a late AF, I POAS when I was away on business and now here I am. No idea how far along I am, RE seems to think around 5.5 weeks but I O at random times, generally late and this one seemed to sneak past DH and I. We were definately not trying as we had moved on after the IVF's and FET's that did not work.
Anyway, 3 Betas in 8 days (317 > 1451 > 4857) so I am officially PG. I had an u/s today, RE saw a sac but nothing more. Next u/s on Wednesday as being watched as I have had 2 ectopics in the past. So far so good only lots of cramps down there.
Not sure if I will be here for the next 8 months, only time will tell. Defintely thought that I would never be posting here after the issues of the past 2 years.
Anyway, glad to be here and I love seeing all the IFV and IF buddies of past posting! 
Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!
Little A born 38w 2d on 05/23/13 and is a true miracle for this IF Vet!

We rescued ours too - from the SPCA!! She was 4 months when we got her last October so she's still a puppy. I've heard they're great with kids - which is good because I'm having twins in May. I'm hoping she'll be a little less high energy by then, because now she requires A TON of exercise!
Roxie I'm so happy to read this! When I was going through a difficult time on the IF board you were wonderful to me and were the first one to PM me and make me feel welcome. I've kept you in my thoughts since that day! I'm wishing you the best if luck that this is your happy ending.
